We support My SQL 5.x, My SQL 8.x and Microsoft SQL Server 2016,2017,2019 & Azure SQL Database. First step is to prepare the database, and then input Hostname, Port, User name and Password for accessing the database. In Log Config, input the Dafault Schema and Default Table. these files
are dependant on your design in database. For the Log Policy, we offer "Data Update" and "Sampling Rate."
